The ultimate goal is to better understand and improve their potential in a new generation seaweed-containing food products.
Information about the division
The division of Food and Nutrition Science (FNS) is one of four research divisions at the department of Lice Sciences (LIFE). FNS addresses major societal challenges related to sustainable food production, nutrition and health. We conduct fundamental and applied research, innovation, education and dissemination in Food and Nutrition Science with the aim to provide new knowledge and solutions that pave the way for a sustainable planet and healthy humans. Research topics span from food chemistry and food technology to molecular and data- driven nutrition (Precision Nutrition). In Food Science, we focus primarily on marine and plant-based food systems for which we develop tools and processes to promote high food quality, minimize losses throughout the value chain and allow nutrient recovery from alternative biomasses. In nutrition, we focus on human observational and intervention studies as well as cell- based model studies and apply advanced data-driven approaches and state of the art biochemical and OMICs technologies to understand and predict the role of foods, dietary components and dietary patterns in human health. The research is also related to global food security topics in an international context.
Major responsibilities
In this Postdoc project, the particular focus is to unravel how different seaweed processing operations; especially post-harvest treatments, stabilization techniques and disintegration principles, affect flavour molecules, micro-/macronutrients and final product properties. The latter is to be evaluated together with the industrial partners of SENSALG. Within the project, a long series of analytical techniques will be applied to monitor different quality aspects of seaweed. Depending on outcomes, possibilities to work with nutrient accessibility in vitro may also be integrated.
Qualifications
To qualify for this position, you must hold a PhD degree in Bioscience, Food Science, Biochemical engineering, Biotechnology, Biochemistry or similar, awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline. Fluent English in writing and speaking, strong communication and analytical skills are also required.
It is meritorious if you have research experience from work with seaweed, seaweed quality, seaweed proteins, in vitro digestion methods and (sea)food analysis.
Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.
